Go beyond tasting and fully immerse yourself in Wine Country on this fun and educational tour of both Napa and Sonoma Valleys! After a pickup from your SF hotel, you will set forth on a picturesque drive over the Golden Gate Bridge and through the Marin Headlands into California's amazing and beautiful Wine Country. Upon arrival in Sonoma, you will embark on a 45 minute tram tour of the Benziger Family Winery and learn about the art and science of biodynamic winemaking.
Follow the winemaking process from roots to glass and see how wine is made, bottled, aged, and distributed. Finally, back in the tasting room, you can enjoy the fruits of these labors! After the vineyard tour, including tastings at Benziger and their sister winery Imagery, relax with a picnic lunch.
Then head out to other favorite wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valleys for more tasting and exploring. Tour includes: Benziger Winery Tram Tour, Organic, local picnic lunch (choice of turkey, ham, roast beer, or vegetarian sandwich), wine tasting at 4-5 unique wineries (some tasting fees may apply; proper ID required for tasting) and Eco-friendly transportation in a biofueled mini-coach.

Others: To best suit the needs of our partner wineries and our guests, it is sometimes necessary to slightly alter the itinerary of the tour. In the wintertime there is less daylight and some tasting rooms may have shorter open-hours. Your group may also make a detour to Muir Woods National Monument. If this is not an original item in your itinerary, please be aware that your entrance fee will be covered and you are welcome to enjoy the cafe and have a delicious warm breakfast or a cup of coffee in lieu of exploring the woods.
